TEHRAN, Jan 19 (NNN-IRNA) – The black box of the passenger plane which crashed over Tehran’s airspace earlier this month, will be sent to Ukraine for reading of the data, an official in Iran’s Aviation Organisation, said.
“The black box cannot be read in Iran, and following request by the Ukrainians, it will be sent to Ukraine,” said Hassan Rezaeefar, director of Incident Investigation of Iran’s Aviation Organisation.
If the black box cannot be read in Ukraine, it will be sent to France for the same purpose, Rezaeefar said.
On Jan 8, a Ukrainian Boeing 737-800 passenger plane crashed near Tehran, and all of the 176 people on board were killed.
